Traditionalist Worker Party

The Traditionalist Worker Party (TWP) is a national socialist political party in the United States that was founded in January 2015. The TWP originated as the Traditionalist Youth Network non-governmental organization in May 2013, and it adopted racist and anti-Semitic views. The party's predominant ideology was white nationalism; it advocated the creation of an independent white state and the granting of independence to American colonies such as Puerto Rico and Hawaii with the goal of decreasing multiculturalism. On its website, the TWP branded itself as a defender of faith, family, and folk, as it stood for "strong morals", religious freedom for Christians in America, supporting working families, law and order, securing a homeland for its "national community", opposing abortion, and other far-right tenets. The party was involved in the 2017 Unite the Right rally alongside several other far-right parties.
